I think Jill is the most grounded of the bunch. She really is together.

Ramona is BANANAS with the crazy eyes, the gestures, the insanity. Avery will need lots of therapy. She really needs help.

I like Bethenny, but she is really abrasive. Not to blame her childhood, but she is very mean when she feels out of control. She cuts people off, ends things and then comes back and apologizes. Granted she is quite funny, but I also think very mean at times.

I feel badly about how people were treating Alex. I think she is pretty normal. I think her and her husband fantasize a little and get a kick out of spending time with rich people, but that is no reason to crucify her. The way they went on about her house was mean and to give her advice like "buy less Cavali and fix your house." Pretty rude. I know many people with houses "in transition" with kids running around and it is fine.

I do like Luann, but I am stuck on how she is classist. I like how Bethenny called her on, " I can introduce to my friends as Luann, but not a driver..." Also, that Luann would not shake his hand. Plus, I found the whole Luann "helping" out at a rehab center nauseating. When she said that the woman she met did not look like a "drug person" I threw up in my mouth a little. She did nothing for that woman. I hate when rich people act like by spending time with a poor person, they are doing them a service. Gross.

Again, love Jill to death and I want to be her friend. Ramona is GREAT TV but a total nightmare. I have no idea how her husband tolerates her. We all know how Avery feels about her.

I agree with everything you just said. You're right about Bethenny - she is funny and someone I could see myself hanging out with, but woah. She has a tude.

Does anyone else think it's weird that Luann refers to her husband as "The Count"? I mean, he IS the Count, we get it - but like, a tad impersonal? Also, he LOOKS like the Count from Sesame Street, yes?

YES! I always knew he looked like someone, but I just couldn't place it...

I'm finally getting a few minutes to watch the recording of the 'Reunion Show'.

I love Jill and Betheny for their honesty.

And Ramona continues to make excuses for her inexcusible behavior.

VERY interesting. And entertaining!

in the end I liked Jill the best also. I loved that she had her daughter apprenticing.

I thought at first she was a bit too loud and in your face - but I could liked her alot after that. Unfortunately, if I was her friend, we would both be competing for who is the LOUDEST and that would get old.

The stuff about Bethany's dad was just plain wierd. You'd never get me away from the track if I was her.

about Luann always referring to "the Count" - it's possible she did NOT want to ever mention his name on camera. Look what happened to Bethany's boyfriend.

Yeah, no, I think she just wants to take as many opportunities as she can to remind people that she's married to THE COUNT. I mean, how many de Lesseps families of that stature do you think there are? It's not as though she could have protected his identity or something. It's not exactly like being some random dude named Jason.
